About Me

I am a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford Graduate School of Business, where I have the privilege of working with Guido Imbens, Stefan Wager, and Kuang Xu, and collaborating with Ramesh Johari and Airbnb. Previously, I received my Ph.D. degree in Decision, Risk, and Operations from Columbia Business School, where I was very fortunate to be advised by Daniel Russo. Outside academia, I have worked on research teams at Google DeepMind, Scale AI, Amazon AI, and Adobe Research.

My research interests include

• Methodologies: Experimental Design, Bandits and Reinforcement Learning, Causal Inference, (Statistical) Machine Learning, Optimization, Game Theory
• Applications: Experimentation and Personalization, Large-Scale Resource Allocation, Pricing, Service Operations, Supply Chain Management, Advertising Measurement, Ranking.

The syllabus of my mini-course at Northwestern Kellogg School of Management provides an overview of my recent work on Adaptive Experimentation.

Excited to be on the academic job market for the first time!
